Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve technology, and in particular relates to a high-pressure and corrosion-resistant hydraulic sea valve for deep-sea equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Sea valves, also known as bottom valves or side valves, are specialized valves installed below the waterline on the hull of ships, offshore platforms, or other maritime facilities. Their primary function is to control the flow of seawater between the hull and the outside, serving as a critical safety device in the ship's piping system that directly connects to the external environment. Traditional sea valves typically use cast steel bodies, which have poor corrosion resistance. Due to structural design flaws, they have low nominal pressure and are unsuitable for deep-water environments. While they may function well in shallow waters, they face high pressures of approximately 2-10 MPa at depths of 200-1000 meters, potentially leading to structural deformation, valve jamming, and product failure. Furthermore, traditional sea valves are usually operated by handwheels, which are laborious and slow. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-pressure and corrosion-resistant hydraulic sea valve for deep-sea equipment, so as to solve the problems of poor structural stability and laborious operation of existing sea valves in deep sea.

[0005] Preferably, a first sealing ring is installed between the housing and the end cap.
[0006] Preferably, a first retaining ring and a second sealing ring are installed inside the housing, and the first retaining ring and the second sealing ring correspond to the valve core, respectively.
[0007] Preferably, a second retaining ring and a third sealing ring are installed inside the housing, located in the middle of the valve core.
[0008] Preferably, the first annular groove and the second annular groove are on the same axis, the width of the first annular groove and the width of the second annular groove are the same, and the depth of the first annular groove is less than the depth of the second annular groove.
[0009] Preferably, the valve core is fitted with a gasket located at the left end of the first annular groove, and the gasket is in contact with the left end of the spring.
[0010] This invention offers the following advantages over traditional equipment: 1) It features a compact structure, occupies less space, and uses hydraulic control to move the valve core left and right to open or close it, ensuring safety and reliability. Combined with a spring structure, it enables rapid valve closure, saving time, reducing manpower, and making it convenient and practical. 2) The sealing ring and retaining ring offer high sealing reliability and increased resistance to contamination, effectively extending the product's service life. 3) All metal parts in this invention are made of 316L stainless steel. 316L is an ultra-low carbon austenitic stainless steel, which has superior resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion compared to ordinary 316 stainless steel.

[0013] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0014] Depend on Figures 1 to 3Provided is a high-pressure and corrosion-resistant hydraulic sea valve for deep-sea equipment, comprising a housing 1, a head 2 fixed to the right end of the housing 1, an inlet pipe 3 connected to the left end of the housing 1, an outlet pipe 4 connected to the inlet pipe 3 at the front end of the housing 1, a cavity 5 inside the housing 1, a valve core 6 slidably connected to the cavity 5, the valve core 6 controlling the opening or closing of the inlet pipe 3, and a first hydraulic pipe connector 7 connected to the cavity 5 installed at the upper end of the housing 1, the first hydraulic pipe connector 7 controlling the valve core 6 within the cavity. The valve core 6 moves to the right. The right end of the valve core 6 is provided with a first annular groove 8. The end cap 2 is provided with a second annular groove 9 corresponding to the first annular groove 8. The end cap 2 is provided with a spring 10. The left end of the spring 10 contacts the left end of the first annular groove 8, and the right end of the spring 10 contacts the right end of the second annular groove 9. The end cap 2 is provided with a hollow tube 11 that communicates with the cavity 5. The right end of the end cap 2 is equipped with a second hydraulic pipe joint 12 that communicates with the hollow pipe 11. The second hydraulic pipe joint 12 controls the valve core 6 to move to the left.
[0015] To ensure the airtightness between the housing 1 and the end cap 2, a first sealing ring 13 is installed between the housing 1 and the end cap 2.
[0016] To prevent the first hydraulic pipe joint 7 and the second hydraulic pipe joint 12 from connecting and to ensure the sealing of the valve core 6, a first retaining ring and a second sealing ring 14 are installed inside the housing 1 and located in the cavity 5. The first retaining ring and the second sealing ring 14 correspond to the valve core 6.
[0017] To prevent seawater from entering the cavity 5, a second retaining ring and a third sealing ring 15 are installed inside the housing 1, located in the middle of the valve core 6.
[0018] The first annular groove 8 and the second annular groove 9 are on the same axis, the width of the first annular groove 8 and the width of the second annular groove 9 are the same, and the depth of the first annular groove 8 is less than the depth of the second annular groove 9.
[0019] The valve core 6 is equipped with a gasket located at the left end of the first annular groove 8, and the gasket is in contact with the left end of the spring 10.
[0020] When this utility model is in use, when seawater needs to be injected into the hull, the first hydraulic pipe joint 7 is activated, and hydraulic oil is injected into the cavity 5 on the left side of the valve core 6. The first hydraulic pipe joint 7 is in a pressurized state, and at the same time, the second hydraulic pipe joint 12 is in a depressurized state. At this time, the pressurized hydraulic oil of the first hydraulic pipe joint 7 pushes the valve core 6 to slide to the right in the cavity 5, the spring 10 is in a compressed state, the left end of the valve core 6 is separated from the water inlet pipe 3, the valve core 6 is opened, the water inlet pipe 3 is in an open state, the water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the water outlet pipe 4, and then the seawater can flow into the hull through the water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4. When it is necessary to stop the injection of seawater into the hull, the second hydraulic pipe connector 12 is activated. Hydraulic oil is injected into the cavity 5 on the right side of the valve core 6 through the hollow pipe 11. The second hydraulic pipe connector 12 is in a pressurized state, while the first hydraulic pipe connector 7 is in a depressurized state. At this time, the pressurized hydraulic oil from the second hydraulic pipe connector 12 pushes the valve core 6 to slide to the left within the cavity 5. Under the reset action of the spring 10, the spring 10 synchronously pushes the valve core 6 to slide to the left to reset, improving the closing efficiency of the valve core 6. When it is found that the left end is completely blocked by the water inlet pipe 3, the valve core 6 closes, and the water inlet pipe 3 is in a closed state, preventing seawater from entering the hull. Throughout the entire opening and closing process, the valve core's response time is no more than 5 seconds, allowing for rapid response and reducing manpower. A first connector sealing ring corresponding to the first hydraulic pipe connector 7 is installed on the shell 1, and a second connector sealing ring corresponding to the second hydraulic pipe connector 12 is installed on the end cap 2, ensuring the sealing performance of the first hydraulic pipe connector 7 and the second hydraulic pipe connector 12.
[0021] In addition, the housing 1, valve core 6, end cap 2, first hydraulic pipe joint 7, and second hydraulic pipe joint 12 are all made of 316L material, which has good corrosion resistance, optimized structural design, increased product strength, high pressure resistance, and adaptability to deep-sea environment.
